What were the languages? There was Japanese, Korean, Korean sl, mandarin, and one more southeast asian one was it? Tagalog?
My local PBS station is airing a production of Uncle Vanya starring Toby Jones soon. My experience with Chekhov is checkered. I saw three one-act plays I loved. I also saw a production of The Seagull that seemed way over my head. Without giving any spoilers, what do I need to know in advance to appreciate Uncle Vanya? What themes do I need to look for?
Finally coming to screens however pre recorded. Hope someone could do an excellent capture on camcorder...

Really incredible production right here.
I'm currently working on a submission for a theatre festival in my university. I've decided to do a shortened rendition of Uncle Vanya as they tend to choose existing plays over originals. One of the criteria for submitting a play is that its runtime has to be less than 1 hour, whereas the play goes on for about double that time. So have you done/watched/read a version of the play and maybe help me track it down or even just give me some insights that would enable me to cut it down. Cause I've currently realized that simple cutting out won't do and I'll have to restructure some parts but I'm very hesitant to do that on a Chekhov masterpiece. Thank you for your help.
